Laht's humorous satires were popular, notably in the collections ''Piimahambad'' in 1954 ("Milk Teeth") and its second version ''Piimahambad (plombeeritud)'' in 1956 ("Milk Teeth, Filled"). The subject matter includes "shock troops" (work battalions sent to pioneer new agricultural and industrial collective projects), cultural restriction, time wasting bureaucracy and other phenomena of Soviet life. Laht has published several books, mostly satirical poetry and humor. In 1975, Laht was awarded the Tuglas Prize for his short story ''We Good Fellows All Over the Earth''. He has declared his political views changed at the restoration of the Estonian independence. He left the USSR Union of Writers and rejected the status of a Soviet war veteran.
